Hi,

| I have updated my varnish patches for new cygwin versión 1.7.8

Thanks,

|  * Version 2.1.5:
| http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/attachment/wiki/VarnishOnCygwinWindows/varnish-2.1.5-cygwin.patch

While you're of course free to keep this around, I'm not going to merge
any cygwin support to the 2.1 branch.

|  * Trunk: http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/attachment/wiki/VarnishOnCygwinWindows/varnish-githead-cygwin.patch

In general, I'm a bit unhappy with most of this patch as it leaks too
much cygwin stuff across the build system.  I'll comment some issues
inline.

| +
| +sbin_SCRIPTS = ${CYGWIN_libvarnishd_OBJECTS}
| +
| +
|  DISTCLEANFILES = default_vcl.h

Why the extra EXTRA_SCRIPTS?  I'd also like to not have to care about
gcc on cygwin having problems linking a DLL with unresolved symbols in it.

This bit has been merged.

Adding those -L bits here looks a bit odd.  Doesn't libtool just add the
necessary rpath if that's needed?

Can we get rid of that fake library?  Also, doesn't cygwin support
inter-library dependencies properly?

What?  You shouldn't symlink stuff into .libs directories.
